Not looking for sympathy.
Most of you won’t know this but myself and my wife, over the last month, have had the hardest month we've ever had.
It's been one of the most difficult times of our relationship.
Some days have been harder than others and many tears have flowed and many nights we've sat and talked and some hard decisions have had to be made.
Sadly after a long period of soul searching we have decided with great pain that the end has come.
We can't continue any longer with the way things are, it’s not a decision we have taken lightly but it's been born out of necessity.
Something had to change.
So it’s with great sadness that I announce after so many months of struggling and fighting the inevitable that my wife and I have decided to put the central heating on.
